Successful Routine Inspectors Course at Southwater Parish Council

The One Day RPII Routine Inspectors Course, organised by our Senior Operations Officer, went ahead successfully on Tuesday 15^th July. It was organised and attended by the Senior Operations Officer, our Litter Warden and Play Area Inspectors, together with persons from other Parish Councils and organisations in Sussex who have responsibilities for their respective play areas and facilities. Southwater Parish Council hosted the training so that costs could be shared and assist other Parish Councils.

The course was both theory and practical based and our Litter Warden and Play Area Inspectors also carried out the RPII Routine examination which means they are competent to carry out routine visual inspections of our play areas, knowing what to look for and report on, promoting safety above all.

The course is for people who are responsible for the routine weekly inspections of play areas, covering the responsibilities and requirements.

The Council recognises the importance of ‘play and recreation’ and we are fortunate to have eight playgrounds within our Parish Boundary. 7 of these play areas are managed by us and our team is working hard to make sure the children can enjoy these areas safely and for as long as possible.
